What the market is saying

Retail: Moderate — luxury retail remains strong but mid-market faces pressure from e-commerce and changing consumer behavior.

Focus on luxury retail or pivot to e-commerce operations. Digital marketing skills are increasingly valuable for retail professionals. Omnichannel experience is a differentiator.
